Defendant said other carts were emptying rubbish ; he did not know there was any liability ; he saw Dimond emptying rubbish there, it had been always the usual place ; he knew now there was a road, but it was dangerous, and if any accident happened to his horse in being compelled to go down it, he should make the Council pay. His Worship said he did not see how the information could be laid ; the leakage of bags in carting was not throwing rubbish. G. F. Scott said that the grain was carted round and shot in the usual place. By prosecutor : He knew there was another road. The Bench reserved its decision.
